Unproven allegations are one thing, but Kerry actually admits to 
participating in the free-fire zones, which are against the Geneva 
Convention.
It's doesn't matter a whole lot to me, but I'm beginning to understand 
why many veterans hate him so much, when I saw him at the rallies with 
Hanoi Jane.

I've gone through the testimony and although Kerry does say that he was 
there as part of a larger group, it is in no way clear that this was not 
a confession
on his part to war crimes.  I've never heard of any supposed war crimes 
committed by Bob Kerrey; I started wondering about these things as a 
result of hearing John Kerry's own words.
